The Overwhelmingly whiteness of private schools from elementary school to colleges and universities.

[Anerdyblackguy]

what piece from southern education center? all i see about the southern education center in the article is its used a a source, the article has nothing to do with universities, your title is completely wrong

​

nothing is wrong with interesting black people into private universities and colleges but there is something wrong with mislabeling an article

and there is something wrong with misdirecting black energies into integrating into white schools when black people should be focused on building our own schools

its a useless article, if you are going to post articles related to black people and private schools, post articles about black people that have private schools and how we can grow them

Okay, I changed the title To be more representative.

Secondly, it would take a generation for our black schools to match up with these Caucasians schools. There's nothing wrong with black schools; but if these schools can help improve our financial circumstances right now then why not try and take advantage. We can build up our schools when we as a community have more resources.

 

[Anerdyblackguy]

no, why is that a problem?

These schools offer better resources and opportunities for us and our kids RIGHT NOW. I understand where you are going with this, and I'm not knocking it. But we earned a right to attend these schools and we should take these chances right now. Just saying!

Unless ST. John's University is the only private school in the country, I'm not understanding your point.

I don't know the racial makeup of the school but I was just asking how your experience was.

Oh my bad then, I thought you were being sarcastic. It was fine
41 percent white
15 percent black
19 percent Asian
14 percent Hispanic
The rest were unknown!

I spent most of my time with the black students. Great experience, great scholarship, low financial worries.

who said you don't have the right to go to these schools?

I'm the #1 poster here for destroying the public school system and replacing it with charter schools and vouchers for private schools so you don't have to convince me about the benefits of private schools

But you are like exhibit A on how white liberalism weakens the black race

Our goal is develop our own schools not fight tooth and nail to "integrate"

 

[MrSinnister]

lol, you are misreading the article and your title is wrong, the article does not say one word about colleges and universities

its referring to private elementary and high schools

let me give you another interpretation, the article is attempt by white liberals to tell black people that instead of building our own private schools we need to integrate into white private schools

its a useless article and black people should ignore it

This was the conclusion I was going to get to, even though I respect OP's article and opinion on it. We need to end the voucher system, and start investing in our own schooling, with teachers (doesn't have to be minorities either) that understand our students. I've been in many situations where I was categorized in all White environments as highly intelligent, but unstable. I was just being a kid trekking through two worlds.

We need kids that get conformable trekking through their own worlds, and it doesn't need to be fully White anymore, where you feel alienated from your people or they you for your brain. We need our own schools, but not be delusional either. Not every Black person is smart, and from within, we need to be separated into those who should move to vocational trades and higher university ones.

I don't see Whites being able to access our skills, on a mass basis, like that outside of stand outs.

You need to stop taking cues from white liberals and learn how to put black empowerment first not second

Agreed. As long as we aren't going there as the local charity case, and there was some kind of admission's test that gave the chances of success being more than 80%. Vouchers could be going into our schools to fund better teachers, and it's our thinking about what children should be learning, even with meager resources, that is flawed.

If you have to....get those printers fired up and steal a bunch of PDF'S of you're underfunded. But the primary goal is to get successful people out of it, and become the ones who get the right kind of teachers to lead our children into prosperity. Then invest in our own education. And I mean a real basis, not just Black history or religion, but both and a strong core of fundamentals that our Black students can flip through like different languages on their ACT's, SAT'S and then their college classes.

I know our confidence, and I want our students to want to wow people.

ok to the bolded. well first things first. Find out which are thee most successful black colleges. now you do have to come up with a gadge for what you call success. what does success mean to the black college. if the success of the black college lines up with success of other non black colleges. then widen your search and search for the most successful colleges in the US.. STUDY THEM. Send out foot soldiers to get hired by them in different capacities. understand how they do what they do. Bring said expertise back to the black colleges ...wash...rinse...repeat until we can have wave of highly successful black colleges and no failing ones. and you cant just go to the best ones with the highest endowments. also go to the best state schools, the best schools with the least amt of $$$ coming in but still pumping out great students and recognized as such. send some foot soldiers to get hired there, get the intel. come on back home.wash, rinse, repeat.

The best way to do something better is to find someone or something else just like you or yours thats much better and follow their blueprint. no everything wont work out exactly as theirs but you will be a lot closer to greatness than you were in the dark trying to guess what it takes to be super successful. just by 3 cents.

exactly that should have always been the plan, basically create a pipeline that we control

the civil rights and white liberals meant well, but the negative side to it is that it made us do what @SJUGrad13 is pushing, put integration as the golden goose

why should black people make it a goal for black kids to have "equal" education, our goal is to have black kids get a SUPERIOR education

a private school is basically a bunch of rich people getting together to educate each other and their kids

there isn't much you can do to change that

you can force them to accept students, but idk how beneficial that would be

I think you're being a bit hard on @SJUGrad13. I'm sure he wants fair competition, and he knows that the White private schools, if we can enter academically, is the best chance at that. People like us see the bigger picture in Black empowerment. Grad's point serves the current state of things, and is a good starting point as what we're avocation would take us succeeding, in the current atmosphere, to have the money to bring the right teacher to make our schools just as comparable and exclusive to our neighborhoods as theirs.

If they receive any kind of public money or subsidies, they should be forced to accept all kinds of students, based on a success rate and travel considerations. If they don't want to do it, they can't have the money.

in that case, absolutely
i'd go as far as removing the private label if they're actually being funded publicly
